Integrity Mentorship Program (IMP)

The Integrity Mentorship Program (IMP) pairs students with Integrity Mentors so together they can explore strategies and techniques for achieving academic success with integrity. 

Purpose

The purpose of the Integrity Mentorship Program (IMP) is to allow a student the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to their education, their willingness to learn and change their academic strategies for success, and their ability to positively contribute to the UC San Diego community. 

Structure

The IMP occurs over a period of 5 weeks. The student (mentee) is matched with an Integrity Mentor (mentor). The mentor and mentee will meet 5 times (approx. every week) according to a prescribed lesson plan. The mentee will have tasks to do in between each meeting, as well as check-in tasks during the non-meeting weeks.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Characterize their responses to the factors that led to their violation, and their feelings throughout the process so far.
  • Recognize the broad impact of their action
  • Assess what they need in order to excel with integrity
  • Construct personalized SMART goals
  • Identify their core values
  • Assess obstacles that may inhibit their ability to follow through with their goals and enact their values
  • Locate strategies to mitigate those obstacles
  • Design strategies for keeping their actions in line with their values
  • Identify resources that will assist them in reaching their goals
  • Evaluate their work towards achieving their goal
  • Assess their experiences engaging with resources

To successfully reach these Learning Objectives and complete IMP, carefully read the information in each of the following sections:
